If approved, HUD monies received from the federal government will be used to support the goals and objectives of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The hearing remains open. Motion: Continue the hearing until April 4, 2016. Staff is presenting the 201612017 Action Plan in three (3) separate public hearings scheduled for March 7, 2016, March 21, 2016 and on April 4, 2016. Staff will request that Council authorize the City Manager to submit the Action Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on April 4, 2016 to ensure timely processing of the City's Action Plan and funding of new projects. The first two scheduled hearings will focus on Department Projects while April 4th's hearing will focus on Public Service funding and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding. Background Since 1975, the City of San Bernardino (City) has received Federal funding from the United States Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) for the purpose of undertaking programs and activities for the benefit of low to moderate-income persons residing in the City. In accordance with HUD regulations, state and local governments may choose to submit a federal grant application under any of the Community Planning and Development Programs. Applying for such funds requires the City to develop and submit a Consolidated Plan every three (3) to five (5) years to illustrate the local needs and priorities for affordable housing access to critical public services, improvement of public facilities, promoting economic development and infrastructure. Each year the City is eligible to receive CDBG and HOME funding based on the City's adopted and HUD approved Consolidated Plan. Submission of an Annual Action Plan (AAP) that outlines the City's goals, objectives and funding strategy for specified programs is required. The AAP serves as the City's annual application for federal funding and annual business plan for meeting Consolidated Plan goals and objectives. Historically, CDBG funds have been used to support a broad range of services, Updated: 3/8/2016 by Linda Sutherland A I Packet Pg. 608 6.A 4268 including public and private entities capable of addressing the needs of low income residents of our community. The funds are allocated based on a formula that considers N"No several socio-economic indicates like education, poverty rate, housing vacancy, etc. Since the City experiences higher rates of poverty than surrounding cities its allocation has been considerably larger, however, the nationwide program has experienced repeated cuts by the United States Congress, thereby limiting the available funding. HUD requires the submittal of an Annual Action Plan (AAP) by May 15th of each year for review of activities for eligibility and for consistency with a City's adopted Consolidated Plan. Staff has prepared the AAP that includes: applications and certifications for funding; a summary of proposals, projects, and programs for Fiscal Year 2016-2017; and implementing a citizen participation process for project and program funding. In May 2012, HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development implemented the use of a cohesive and standard on-line template for submittal of an AAP and Consolidated Plan. Staff has completed a draft of the AAP for FY 2016-2017 using the on-line template. Funding and Request for Proposals On August 17, 2015 the City Manager's Office released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) requesting proposals for the City's 2016-2017 CDBG and ESG Public Service program. On December 1, 2015 the City Manager's Office requested proposals from other City Departments for the City's 2016-2017 CDBG funding cycle. All proposals received were evaluated by staff for program eligibility and to determine if each proposal met the Housing and Community Development goals of the City as set forth in the HUD Five-Year Consolidated Plan. On January 30, 2016, the members of the Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee (CDCAC) convened to conduct interviews, listen to oral testimonies from agency representatives, overview the department proposals and make funding recommendations for the 2016-2017 program year. Based on their evaluation of each written proposal and oral testimony, the CDCAC recommended funding for 21 local nonprofit agencies for a total of $465,000. Details of the CDCAC recommendations are attached as Exhibit A. Exhibit B shows the full staff recommendation for Fiscal year 2016-2017, CDBG, HOME and ESG funding. Citizen Participation Plan: In compliance with HUD regulations, citizen participation was solicited throughout the process of developing the Action Plan. Copies of the Draft Action Plan were available for a 30 day public review and comment period. These documents were accessible in hard-copy at City Manager's office, City Clerk's office and Feldheym Central Library. These documents are also available online in PDF format on the City's website. Environmental Impact: Activities funded with Federal funds require some level of environmental review. All Updated: 3/8/2016 by Linda Sutherland A I Packet Pg. 609 6.A 4268 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) actions will be addressed prior to release of funds for the projects and programs to be funded. The City Manager or his designee will be given the authority to approve all environmental review records on behalf of the City. Updated: 3/8/2016 by Linda Sutherland A Packet Pg. 610 6.A 4268 2016-2017 Action Plan Summary: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) The FY 2016/2017 CDBG allocation is anticipated to be $3,100,000 including a total of $2,034,376 of prior year funding, giving the City a total of $5,134,376 in federal funding to use toward eligible activities. The prior year funding number includes uncommitted CDBG line of credit balance and a projection of current year (2015/2016) funding carryover. Activities eligible for funding under the CDBG program include acquisition of real properties, construction, rehabilitation or improvements to public facilities, housing related services and activities, economic development, public services, and program planning and administration. Eligible activities are required to meet at least one of the three CDBG program National Objectives, which are: 1) to assist low- and moderate-income persons, 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slum or blight, and 3) meet urgent community needs. The following CDBG projects are proposed to begin in Fiscal Year 2016/2017: CDBG Project Budget Allocation Administration (20% cap) $620,000 Public Service/Non-profits (15% cap) $465,000 Section 108 Payment $728,376 Mandated Fair Housing Compliance $46,000 Micro-enterprise Program $150,000 Access Center $300,000 Arts and Stroll $250,000 Construction Trades Employment Program $100,000 Veteran's Supportive Housing $350,000 Police Camera Expansion Program $225,000 Pocket Park Program $50,000 Corridor Revitalization $250,000 Demolition $200,000 Neighborhood Revitalization $250,000 Vacant to Value $400,000 Parks Improvement Projects $750,000 CDBG Program Totals (Including Prior Year Funding) $5,134,376.00 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program The City signed an agreement with the County of San Bernardino to join the County HOME Consortium starting in FY 2015/16 for three years. As a result, the City will no longer be directly receiving HOME funds for three years. Instead, the funding is Updated: 3/8/2016 by Linda Sutherland A I Packet Pg. 611 6.A 4268 diverted to the County HOME Consortium. Much of the City's diverted HOME funds are earmarked for the development of Waterman Gardens, an affordable housing project owned and operated by the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino, and is located in the City of San Bernardino. However, for FY 2015/2016 HOME Program Income is anticipated to be $450,000 and the balance from prior year funds is anticipated to be $1,020,000. The fundamental purpose of the HOME Program is to preserve and increase the supply of decent, safe, and sanitary affordable rental and owner-occupied housing for persons at 80% or below the area median household income. The Program Year 2015/2016 HOME funding will be distributed as follows according to specific HUD program caps: HOME Project Budget Allocation Administration (10% cap) $300,000 Waterman Gardens 1 $734,000 Infill Housing Development $1,000,000 Homebuyer Assistance Program $600,000 HOME Program Totals (Including Prior Year Funding) $2,634,000 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) On May 20, 2009, the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) was enacted which consolidated three homeless programs into a single program under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and made major revisions to the Emergency Shelter Grant program. The HEARTH Act renamed Emergency Shelter Grant to Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG). [The HEARTH Act also codified into law the Continuum of Care planning process to assist with homeless coordination of services and addressing the needs of the homeless. The ESG Interim Rule published in the Federal Register on December 5, 2011, revised regulations for the Emergency Shelter Grant by establishing regulations for the Emergency Solutions Grant. On January 4, 2012, the regulations went into effect.] The City anticipates receiving $280,970 in ESG funding for FY 2016/2017. The ESG program requires an equal amount ($1 for $1 match) of cash and/or non-cash contributions to the program. This is referred to as "match" funding. To be eligible for the City's ESG funding, sub recipients must demonstrate the ability to meet the ESG match requirement. The table below summarizes the proposed use of ESG funds during the FY 2016/2017 by general activity and funding amount. Project Budget Allocation Catholic Charities of San Bernardino & Riverside $20,000 Central City Lutheran Mission $20,000 Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County $20,000 Updated: 3/8/2016 by Linda Sutherland A Packet Pg.612 4268 Time for Change Foundation $20,000 Homeless Access Center $200,000 ESG Program Totals (Including Prior Year Funding) $280,000 Financial Impact The adoption of the City's AAP will have no impact on the City's General Fund. If approved, HUD monies received from the federal government will be used to support the goals and objectives of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Recommendation For your consideration, it is recommended that the Mayor and Common Council continue finalizing the FY 2016-2017 Action Plan by conducting the necessary public hearings to receive public comments and upon the conclusion of those hearings on April 4, 2016, authorize staff to submit the document to HUD prior the May 15 deadline and authorize the City Manager to include the recommended allocations in the City's 2016- 2017 Fiscal Year Budget.

Introduction The City of San Bernardino (City) is an entitlement jurisdiction that receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to invest in local communities. The City receives those funds under the following programs: • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) a • Home Investment Partnership (HOME) c • Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) ° a In order to receive funding under the above mentioned "entitlement programs" (funding c allocated directly to a City based on Congressional action) the City must submit a Consolidated Plan (CP) explaining how it plans to use those funds. A CP may be submitted every three or five N years; the City has chosen to submit its CP every five years. In addition to the longer range plan 00 (CP), an Annual Action Plan (AAP) must be submitted each of the five years. This document is N the AAP for the upcoming program year, 2016 Program Year,the City's 2016-2017 Fiscal Year. 72 0 An AAP includes projects the City plans to carryout/implement within that fiscal year. The 2016 Program Year (the City's 2016-2017 Fiscal Year) is the second year of the City's adopted 2015- N 2019 CDBG, HOME and ESG Program Strategy or Consolidated Plan (CP). The success of last year's projects (known as "accomplishments" in HUD reporting) will be evaluated in the 2015 a Consolidated Action Plan Evaluation Report (CAPER). o U a Funding Decisions L 0 As an entitlement community the City sets its own priorities for use of CDBG, HOME and ESG v funds. In order to effectively track and manage projects funded with these funds the Housing Division follows a standard Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for most all internal and x external projects. However, excess prior year CDBG and HOME funding is often used as part of w new housing or economic development projects that may arise during the program year. It is not anticipated that this will be the case during the 2016 Program Year since staff is = recommending allocating all projected carryover dollars for all programs (ESG is fully committed v r in the current program year). Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) The FY 2016/2017 CDBG budget is anticipated to be $5,134,376, including a total of$2,034,376 of prior year funding. The prior year funding number includes uncommitted CDBG line of credit balance and a projection of current year (2015/2016) funding carryover. Activities eligible for funding under the CDBG program include acquisition of real properties, Annual Action Plan 4 2016 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Packet Pg. 622 3 i DRAFT ACTION PLAN construction, rehabilitation or improvements to public facilities, housing related services and activities, economic development, public services, and program planning and administration. Eligible activities are required to meet at least one of the three CDBG program National Objectives, which are: 1) To assist low- and moderate-income persons, 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slum or blight, and 3) Meet urgent community needs. Staff evaluated each of the proposals submitted by departments to determine eligibility and consistency with the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan, City Council Goals, General a- Plan, etc. and track record of successful completion of compliant projects to determine how o projects should be funded. In addition, as part of the adopted Citizen Participation Process staff also consulted the Community Development Citizen's Advisory Committee (CDCAC) to discuss ti how the proposed projects address the community's needs as identified in the 2015-2019 Needs Assessment conducted during the development of the CP. The table below shows the c recommended CDBG funding allocations for the 2016 Program Year. A detailed description of each project is included in the Projects' Table later in the document. o v Table 1: D: ti Administration (20% cap) $620,000 N Public Service/Non-profits (15% cap) $465,000 c NOW Section 108 Payment $728,376 � Mandated Fair Housing Compliance $46,000 a Micro-enterprise Program $150,000 0 Access Center $300,000 a Arts and Stroll $250,000 Construction Trades Employment Program $100,000 0 Veteran's Supportive Housing $350,000 Police Camera Expansion Program $225,000 Pocket Park Program $50,000 W Corridor Revitalization $250,000 r Demolition $200,000 E Neighborhood Revitalization $250,000 Vacant to Value $400,000 Q Parks Improvement Projects $750,000 z CDBG Program Totals (Including Prior Year Funding) $5,134,376.00 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program The fundamental purpose of the HOME Program is to preserve and increase the supply of decent, safe, and sanitary affordable rental and owner-occupied housing for persons at 80% or below the area median household income. Annual Action Plan 5 2016 s OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) { Packet Pg. 623 6.A.c DRAFT ACTION PLAN The City signed an agreement with the County of San Bernardino to join the County HOME Consortium starting in FY 2015/16 for three years. As a result, the City will not receive HOME funds through Fiscal Year 2018. Instead, the funding is diverted to the County HOME Consortium. Much of the City's diverted HOME funds are earmarked for the development of Waterman Gardens, an affordable housing project owned and operated by the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) and is located in the City of San Bernardino. However, for FY 2015/2016 HOME Program Income is anticipated to be $450,000 and the balance from prior year funds is anticipated to be $1,020,000. The table below shows the recommending HOME funding allocation for the 2016 Program Year. a Table 2: • r o Administration (10% cap) $300,000 a Waterman Gardens 1 $734,000 0 Infill Housing Development $1,000,000 Homebuyer Assistance Program $600,000 N HOME Program Totals (Including Prior Year Funding) $2,634,000 c co N d' Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) 0 On May 20, 2009, the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) was enacted which consolidated three homeless programs into a single o " program under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and made major revisions to the Emergency Shelter Grant program. The HEARTH Act renamed Emergency Shelter Grant to a Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG). The HEARTH Act also codified into law the Continuum of o Care planning process to assist with homeless coordination of services and addressing the a needs of the homeless. The ESG Interim Rule published in the Federal Register on December 5, 2011, revised regulations for the Emergency Shelter Grant by establishing regulations for the o Emergency Solutions Grant. On January 4, 2012, the regulations went into effect. The City is anticipating $280,970 in ESG funding for FY 2016/2017. Activities eligible for funding under the new ESG program include support for the operations and essential services as provided at emergency shelter and homeless prevention and rapid re-housing activities. The ESG program regulations require that the City match its ESG allocation dollar-for-dollar with E other funding sources. Consequently, the City places this matching requirement upon the ESG a sub-recipients. The table below summarizes the proposed use of ESG funds during the FY a 2016/2017 by general activity and funding amount.

The City will ° measure performance outputs and outcomes for CDBG, ESG and HOME under the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) for FY 2015/2016. Through the annual c monitoring of CDBG, ESG, and HOME sub-recipients, contractors, and community based organizations/developers, the City ensures federal compliance of CDBG, ESG, and HOME, as N well as reporting on outcomes of activities and programs. •• W N d' Summary ti 0 Since the AAP is prepared well in advance of the announcement of the CDBG and ESG funding numbers staff prepares an estimate based on prior year funding. It is anticipated that the City N will continue receiving new funding under the CDBG and ESG programs for the 2016-2017 Fiscal Year as follows: a c 0 Program Name 2016-2017 Amount Q CDBG $3,100,000 CU ESG $280,000 0` U Prior year CDBG funding totaling $2,034,376 is being included in the AAP to meet department requests and ensure timely expenditure of the City's CDBG funding. Including prior year x funding, the total proposed CDBG budget for 2016-2017 is $5,134,376. "' r c d Only prior year HOME funding is being included in the 2016-2017 AAP. The total amount of that funding is $2,634,000, which includes projected Program Income (PI) from property sales. Q The total amount of ESG funding proposed is $280,000. This amount would fully allocate the projected revenue amount, but does not include any projected carryover from the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year. It is anticipated that 2015-2016 ESG activities will fully exhaust their funding.

Introduction This AAP covers the second year of the 2015-2019 CP. It outlines the City's planned use of CDBG, HOME and ESG funds from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Funding decisions are based on needs and strategies identified through the CP process. Funding is also based on local priorities as adopted by the Mayor and Common Council. To assist in the development of '? specific projects for this year's AAP the City undertook an extensive outreach program to consult and coordinate with non-profit agencies, affordable housing providers, and government a- c agencies regarding the needs of the low- and moderate-income community. An outreach list C consisting of 258 agencies, including but not limited to the following types of agencies were contacted and exposed to critical housing and community development concerns: c N • Non-profit service providers that cater to the needs of low- and moderate-income o households and persons with special needs, including persons with disabilities, N 00 • Local churches, including church-based charities and housing programs; N • Schools, including partnering with the San Bernardino Unified School District to identify �- ti the needs of homeless children; c • Mobile home park community managers; including informative sessions about upcoming mobile home replacement programs; c N • Affordable housing providers; including discussions about the best methods for � implementing homebuyer programs and providing assistance to homeowners; n. • Housing advocates; including Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB); o • Housing consultants and specialists; Q • Public agencies (such as school districts, health services, public services departments); $ L • Economic development and employment organizations; and • Community and neighborhood groups. v These agencies were mailed notices of the plan development process and public meetings. w Specific agencies were also contacted to obtain data in preparation of this AAP. For example, the State Developmental Services Department and State Social Services Department were a) contacted to obtain data and housing resources for persons with disabilities. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) was also contacted to obtain information on Y public housing and Housing Choice Vouchers. a Once compiled from all sources, identified high priority needs and goals are consulted to determine which projects best meet the objectives of the CP. The Housing Division provides a standard Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process to internal and external grantees. The Division also manages all grant awards and ensures the ongoing compliance of the City's CDBG, HOME and ESG programs.

N Summary of Feedback 0 N The majority of the feedback from homeless service providers was the lack of coordination c among the City's funded access center project and existing program providers. Throughout the c 2015 program year staff has worked with current ESG providers to strategize on the use of their a City ESG funding; especially, considering the access center's ongoing success with rapid re- o housing of homeless individuals needing supportive services and temporary housing to get back on their feet. For the 2016 program year, staff has met with all recommended providers to Q align their proposed services with those being offered at the access center. In addition, the o access center budget is being reduced to account for the leveraging of other agency resources. U Consultation with Continuum of Care (CoC) w The City of San Bernardino recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every r_ community in the region. As the largest community in the County, the City also serves as a hub E for service providers. The City supports the efforts of this network of agencies in ending homelessness through the Regional Continuum of Care Strategy.The Continuum of Care Q Strategy involves four key components: • Homeless Prevention— Provision of preventative services will decrease the number of households and individuals who will become homeless and require emergency shelters and assistance.The City seeks to prevent homelessness by funding emergency assistance for families and households at-risk of being homeless. Educating residents about available services is a key component in reducing homelessness. Annual Action Plan 16 2016 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Packet Pg.634 6.A.c DRAFT ACTION PLAN • Homeless Outreach and Needs Assessment—The homeless require a broad spectrum 'of services from transportation assistance to life skills to childcare to prescriptions. The City works with homeless providers to identify gaps in assistance and fund these identified gaps on an annual basis. • Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing—The City provides funds to service providers offering emergency shelter, transitional housing, motel vouchers, food, and a variety of other services which address basic subsistence needs. Based on discussions with homeless advocates and providers, permanent housing and support services are priorities for addressing the immediate needs of the homeless population. a c • Homeless Transition Strategy— Providing emergency services without complementary ° transitional and permanent housing services creates a situation where the homeless remain in San Bernardino for services but are trapped in an emergency housing situation c or lack shelter due to inadequate resources for transitional and permanent housing.The City will emphasize services providing transitional and permanent housing assistance N through case management, life skills, rental support and job assistance for homeless 00 families and individuals transitioning to permanent housing. N The City uses ESG and CDBG public service grants to assist agencies that provide preventive c services, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive services for the homeless o and those at-risk of being homeless.

In order to effectively track and manage projects funded with these funds the Housing "I Division follows a standard Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for most all internal and external projects. However, excess prior year CDBG and HOME funding is often used as part of E new housing or economic development projects that may arise during the program year. It is not anticipated that this will be the case during the 2016 Program Year since staff is Q recommending allocating all projected carryover dollars for all programs (ESG is fully committed in the current program year). Project Descriptions and Funding Levels For FY 2016-2017, the City has a total CDBG budget of $5,134,376, including prior year funds. The City also has $2,634,000 in HOME funds and $280,000 in ESG funds, including prior year funds.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing: The City signed an agreement with the County of San Bernardino to join the County HOME Consortium starting in FY 2015/16 for three years. As a result, the City will no longer be directly receiving HOME funds for three years. Instead, the funding is diverted to the County HOME C- c Consortium. Much of the City's diverted HOME funds are earmarked for the development of 0 Waterman Garden, an affordable housing project owned and operated by the Housing Q Authority of the County of San Bernardino, and is located in the City of San Bernardino. c N Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and c N participate in homeownership: co N HACSB's centralized community affairs department assists in making and strengthening 7t partnerships throughout the County to leverage services and programs to assist residents with achieving self-sufficiency. In an effort to outreach to services of greatest need among the residents, in 2010, HACSB partnered with Loma Linda University to conduct a detailed needs c assessment of one of HACSB's Public Housing communities—Maplewood Homes Community = (formerly known as Medical Center, 296 units)—to determine appropriate partners that could a best serve residents based on resident input and professional analysis. o L U t K W ++ C E U b Annual Action Plan 36 2016 3 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp. 07/31/2015) Packet Pg. 654 I DRAFT ACTION PLAN Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities-91.220(i) According to the San Bernardino County 2015 Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey, 767 adults and children in the City of San Bernardino were homeless during the Point-in-Time (PIT) count conducted on January 22, 2015. The City receives a lot of feedback from residents and other community members, including business owners that homelessness and panhandling are one of the issues the City should focus on. In addition, San Bernardino County's 10- Year Strategy to End Homelessness, which was S recalibrated in 2013, includes a recommendation to increase the number of available 0- permanent supportive housing beds that serve the County's chronically homeless population. o San Bernardino prioritizes sustainable assistance to the homeless population which is effectively accomplished with a Housing First model. r` 0 N Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness o including, reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs: co v The City of San Bernardino has formed a Homeless Street Outreach Team that provides daily mobile outreach to the most service-resistant homeless population in San Bernardino. The N Team works in partnership with local service providers, law enforcement, health professionals, o city staff, and local residents and businesses to assist the homeless in securing stable housing, 4 short and long-term, and achieve self-sufficiency. Service providers and community volunteers CU a assist the Team during "ride-along" conducted throughout the week. The Outreach Team o generally engages about 400 homeless individuals per year and operates from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays, with various weekend hours (as assigned). `t In addition, San Bernardino County's 10- Year Strategy to End Homelessness, which was recalibrated in 2013, includes a recommendation to expand street outreach and engagement v services to include multidisciplinary practitioners and services and include volunteers from various community groups. Specifically, the strategy calls for the design and implementation of w local "Housing First Engagement Teams" (ETs). ETs will identify, engage, house, and provide integrated supportive services to the most vulnerable, visible, and hardest-to-reach chronically E homeless single adults and families who have been living on the streets of San Bernardino County. The Strategy also recommended establishing a Central Contact Center that would a respond to community calls and concerns for traditional street outreach and engagement and/or assertive community treatment. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Even though the City of San Bernardino recognizes the effectiveness of the Housing First model, it still realizes the immediate need of emergency shelter. The City funds various agencies that address emergency shelter and transitional housing.

All homeless service providers that the City funds with ESG or CDBG provide case management services in order to ensure that all clients receive the support and assistance they need to exit life on the streets and become stable. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that a. c individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals o r and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were a recently homeless from becoming homeless again c N The City of San Bernardino recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every c community in the region. As the largest community in the County, the City also serves as a hub `". for service providers. The City supports the efforts of this network of agencies in ending co homelessness through the Regional Continuum of Care Strategy. The Continuum of Care Strategy involves four key components, one of which is homeless prevention. The provision of preventative services will decrease the number of households and individuals who will become homeless and require emergency shelters and assistance. The City seeks to prevent c homelessness by funding emergency assistance for families and households at-risk of being = homeless. Educating residents about available services is a key component in reducing a homelessness. o U Based on the City's discussions with homeless advocates and providers, permanent housing and a support services are priorities for addressing the immediate needs of the homeless population. o Providing emergency services without complementary transitional and permanent housing services creates a situation where the homeless remain in San Bernardino for services but are trapped in an emergency housing situation or lack shelter due to inadequate resources for x transitional and permanent housing. The City will emphasize services providing transitional and w permanent housing assistance through case management, life skills, rental support and job assistance for homeless families and individuals transitioning to permanent housing. E As previously noted, many of the transitional housing programs assisted by the City include assistance with finding permanent housing. In addition, the County's 10-Year Strategy for Q Ending Homelessness was recently recalibrated in 2013 to focus on a rapid re-housing approach that is also consistent with a Housing First Model. This approach is intended to minimize the amount a time an individual or family remains homeless or in shelters. The Housing First Model also focuses on homeless prevention by emphasizing the need to keep individuals and families in their current housing if appropriate.

The County's 10-Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness, recently recalibrated in 2013, includes a recommendation to focus on discharge planning in order to prevent people from becoming homeless when they are discharged from correctional, foster care, health care, or mental health care systems. The McKinney-Vento Act requires that State and local governments have policies and protocols in place to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly-funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. In order to e. c meet HUD's requirements, the 10-Year Strategy has established a Discharge Planning o Committee to focus on improving coordination between discharge planning agencies, local a government, and homeless service providers in order to implement a "zero tolerance" plan that 0 will prevent persons being discharged into homelessness. 0 N co N ti r 0 N 0 N C CL c 0 U Q f � L U 72 X W c m E �a .r Q Annual Action Plan 39 2016 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) z Packet Pg. 657 (ueld uoi;oV LW-940Z 89Zb) LW-960Z ueld uoi;oy Ijeaa - a Iigiyx3 :;uauayoePv LO to as CL L) U) _ °' 1 o Q CZ 4-� o ce�- U c -C , cn c6 co co o m 4- a) E o E o O Q C p O Q) 0;_— N (D Q= U cn N �- U o C cB 0 E (a C o ,G O co U +� `+- i O O c O Oo O O U -41 B O Q i = Li (n E o LL p�c Q E S O E o N O 6 a) - C C) co > L) � 00 M C13 -° pa : U' B :3 o U ,a) i LL O ° U a O N O a) -0 0 E ° U N LL U a) O N cm (>0 OL 0 0)c (n CL cn O o o (B L- 0 o 0 Q- o o 0 o L L) LL a c } _r_� n N 4'C C _ o 0 � °o C Q) a) > E }, a) U cn O) C (�j >, c oc a, a) cB L U C — C >, U 'ca }. { o o cnZE O � � ,� ° a � o � ca ca o O CL 0 � o o 'er a � o M ai , o .- «� E iii cn "CU -0 .Q M p m c>a L U c a (D _ C"0 n Q o off o o o � � � � U U a� _� E n.._ c6 m Q -o Q m co cn o.
